Abstract: Oncomelania hupensis is the only intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum. The elimination of Oncomelania snails is the key technique step for schistosomiasis control. This paper summarizes the progress of the techniques of snail control， including the methods of ecology engineering， biology， molluscicides and the study on novel molluscicides， and reviews their features. In addition， this paper explores the appropriate approach to control the snails.
